-Copper nitrate solution and put a piece of zinc metal in it
-you get zinc nitrate and copper=single replacement and redox reaction
-plating of copper
-what change is occurring that allows reaction to take place?
-collision/contact-causes trans

Notes Week 2 of Electrochemistry:
!
Voltaic Cells:
-In spontaneous oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions, electrons are transferred and energy is
released
-we can use that energy to do work if we make the electrons flow through an external device
-voltaic

Kinetics:
-Kinetics: study of reaction rate
-rate at which a chemical process occurs
-besides info about the speed at which reactions occur, kinetics also sheds light on the reaction
mechanism (exactly how the reaction occurs)
-data driven

The Collision

Chapter 16: Acid-Base Equilibria
-definition of acids and bases has broadened over time
!
Definitions:
-Arrhenius Definitions:
-an acid is a substance that, when dissolved in water, increases the concentration of
hydrogen ions
-a base is a substance that,

Auto Ionization of Water and the pH Scale: Pg. 656-664

Relative Strengths of Acids and Bases:
-the stronger an acid, the weaker its conjugate base, and the stronger a base, the weaker its
conjugate acid
-strong acid: completely transfers its protons to
